Yeah, its not like we have a surplus of infielders...Let him figure it out..

Haven’t they just signed a bunch of IF with prior experience, hopefully that  can at least field   

Let him figure it out in Norfolk for a few weeks

Is Maton still in Norfolk?  He was hitting pretty well early in the year. 

Yes. Not on 40. Soto and Vavra are on 40.

So, last start, on Monday, Albert did 5 IP and 73 pitches before turning over the mound to the dumpster fire. Today he went 6/84, and was at least as good as before. 
I sure wish he’d gotten that one last inning on Monday.

He also started the game with 15 minutes notice and I am sure was on a lesser pitch count.  This turn he was prepped as a starter.

Only against the O's

To be fair, Heaney had only llowed 2 runs through 4.2 innings.   They took him out with 2 on to bring in a righty to face Giancarlo Stanton, and Stanton homered.

So 4 of the runs were charged to Heaney but if they could have gotten that last out in the 5th it would just be 2.

Still Suarez? Ok… his season high in pitches is 97, if I recall, but I would have probably let someone else come in.

Hyde must be short on guys he trusts.

Maton is still there and playing in the outfield.  Davis is playing 3b.

The FOX announcers did the same joke several times last night.

Hats off to Suarez.  Great game on the mound today.  What a workhorse he is.

Hyde doing what he does…

Red Sox down 6-0. 

Big Maple was chopped down inthe first inning with a hamstring... pulled up lame in his first couple steps from the mound in an attempt to cover first on a grounder to 1st base.   

So it's been the boston bullpen from almost the very beginning.

Hoping for Perez to get thru 8th. 
9th…….
